Hot August Night
Flatbed digital serigraph on wood, 12×12 in.

A mash-up of the Neil Diamond Hot August Night album cover (original cover photo by Ed Caraeff) with 1978 Gene Simmons publicity photo by Mirage Inc.

Hot August Night is one of the most misleading album covers of all time. Neil Diamond’s stance is one of complete aggression–in diametric opposition to the music contained on the vinyl within it. It should have sounded like God of Thunder era KISS, and here that’s been corrected.
